The documentation says it was a respray of the stock color, Venetian Blue. Paint code stickers are missing and I found conflicting info on the forum about that being a stock '84 choice. Regardless, the color was one of the traits that I found compelling.

Most of the info I have on it came from an issue of Panorama in the frunk. It was a feature car about a decade ago.

Patrick,
I was looking at your car before I bought mine. I got a good deal on mine, and it's giving me LOTS of projects to get her where I want her. If I had ended up with yours, I wouldn't have had anything to keep me busy. LOL! Love your M491. Especially the engine upgrade. I bet she flys. That's on the list of things to do to mine.

I bet it wakes it up! I loved the sound of the 3.6 in my 993. I had Fister Stage II mufflers and a Fabspeed bypass pipe.

Do you have a build thread? I'd like to get some information on what it takes to convert to a 3.6.

I don't have a build thread as I decided to go "turn-key". Steve Timmins at Instant-G did the conversion. He converted & installed the motor and added an extra oil cooler in driver's side fender. Very well done and no issues. He is very knowledgeable and provides great support.

There are some threads here on the conversions you can find with the search feature. Here is one you can start with:
